News About This Theater

The Premiere Theatre opened in 1968, at the same time The Neshaminy Mall opened in Cornwells Heights (now called Bensalem), PA.

In 1973, the Premiere was twinned. In 1980, the Premiere, along with the Bucks County Mall Colonial Twin, the Leo Mall Twin and the Woodhaven Mall 4 Theatres were acquired by AMC Theatres, marking AMC’s entry into the Philadelphia area.

In 1992, the AMC Premiere Twin closed. Since then, the Neshaminy Mall has carved up the Premiere space into smaller stores.

Sitting just a few stores south of the former Premiere Theatre space is the AMC Neshaminy 24 Theatre, a modern-day stadium seating style theater.

This theatre was opened originally by Ramon Posel, who also owned the Leo Theatre and The Bucks Mall Coloinal Theatre, before selling these 3 theatres to AMC Theatres. Mr. Posel kept the Ritz 5 Theatre and built the Ritz chain to 4 theatres before his passing.
